I believe the best work comes from 'play'.
Experimenting with the unknown and finding beauty in a glitch.
This principle is fundamental to my practice.
Welcome to my desktop. Feel free to drag around the windows and get a sense of who I truly am.
I'm based out of Toronto but grew up in a rural town.
A lot of my inspiration comes from music. My favourite artists being Björk, Caroline Polachek, Yeule, and Kelela.
In my free time you'll find me tinkering with old electronics, searching for new forms of inspiration on the internet, or procrastinating my meal prep.
What even is a khelaverse? The concept is derived from my last name (Khela). It's a universe of my designs that I invite users into.
You can find me on Letterboxd as @rkhela
Online communites are my safe space! Isn't it crazy that you can experiment with any possible identity on there? Without the fear of judgement we encounter IRL.
Not a lot of people at my school know what New Media actually means. I honestly still don't know how to explain it properly but I'm specializing in the Interactive Design field.
